Gators rally past Georgia in ninth, 4-3

Mike Zunino is used to the clutch situation. This time he didn’t even need a hit to produce his third game-winning at-bat.

The freshman’s walk-off sacrifice fly helped No. 4 Florida steal a 4-3 victory from Georgia at McKethan Stadium in front of a season-high attendance of 5,363.

“Lucky to be in that spot,” Zunino said with a grin. “He threw a curveball that was really good, but a little over the plate. I was able to put some barrel (of the bat) on it.”

Florida (35-12/18-7 SEC) went into the ninth inning in a 3-2 hole. Brian Johnson started it by reaching on a throwing error by Georgia third baseman Todd Hankins. Daniel Pigott dropped down a bunt and Georgia catcher Carson Schilling threw to second base. Jerico Weitzel, who pinch ran for Johnson, slid into second before throw.

Josh Adams followed with another bunt, but Georgia closer Cooper Moseley (0-4) threw the ball over the first baseman’s head, scoring Weitzel. With Pigott on third and Adams on second, Georgia decided to intentionally walk Tyler Thompson to load the bases for Zunino for the game-winner.

“It comes down to bunts, who can defend it and who can execute it,” Florida head coach Kevin O’Sullivan said.

Georgia’s opportunity to win came through the right arm of starting pitcher Justin Grimm. The junior went seven innings, giving up six hits and two runs while striking out six hitters. Coming into Friday, Grimm had walked 30 batters in 62 innings of work. He walked only one on Friday night, and it came to lead off the seventh inning.

His fastball and curveball kept the Florida hitters off balance, not allowing them to lock in on one pitch. The Gators scored a run in each of the first two innings on RBI singles from Johnson and Zunino, but Grimm then got into a groove.

“That’s probably the best game that anybody has thrown against us all year,” O’Sullivan said. “It almost felt suffocating. He just kept coming at us, kept throwing strikes and kept mixing his pitches. He just kept attacking.”

Starting pitcher Alex Panteliodis didn’t have his best stuff, but he kept the Gators close and gave them a chance to win. He went five innings, allowing four hits and three runs. He also hit two batters. Zunino mentioned that he lost the feel of his off-speed pitches during a three-run fourth inning where Georgia did all of their damage.

The best sign of the night for Florida came from the bullpen. Greg Larson (3-1) struggled through the first half of the season, coming into Friday’s game with a 7.56 ERA, but he held the deficit at one run and allowed the offensive attack in the ninth inning.

Larson worked four innings, allowing only two hits and recording three strikeouts. O’Sullivan credits the improvements to a change of arm slot. Larson wasn’t keeping his fingers on top of the baseball when he released it, instead getting his fingers on the right side of the ball. This caused the ball to flatten out instead of get the sink that made Larson difficult to hit last season. The sink is back and Larson has returned to form.

“Very encouraged with the outing that Larson had,” O’Sullivan said. “He looked really crisp.”

The Florida coaches have allowed a lot of the pitchers to throw batting practice. This has helped them regain their feel for the strike zone and be more consistent with their pitches.

“I’m starting to get on top of the ball a lot better,” Larson said. “Early in the season, my ball was flattening out. Now I’m getting on top of it, and it’s really helped me out.”

UF kept pace with No. 7 South Carolina (39-11/18-7 SEC) on top of the league standings, as the Gamecocks nipped No. 10 Arkansas (38-12/16-9 SEC) in Fayetteville, 3-2.

The Gators will go for the series victory on Saturday against Georgia (14-34/3-20 SEC). First pitch is set for 1 p.m. It is also Senior Day, and the Florida senior class will be recognized before the game.
